ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Calvin Johnson had an otherworldly season for the Detroit Lions. One of his fellow receivers thinks he can be even better with a little help.

Nate Burleson, who missed much of last season with a broken leg, said finding reliable second and third options for quarterback Matthew Stafford might mean an even better season for his All-Pro teammate.

"He needs guys that can take the pressure off him," Burleson said Tuesday. "That could help his season and definitely help his health."
